Cultivating Academic Language Acquisition
While this was an interesting chapter, I see it having little relevance for me as a shop teacher. Language acquisition is largely associated with tasks. The tasks being more important,in general, than the language. This linkage though naturally would scaffold the language and repetition of exposure as the tasks are completed, instructions are read, and procedures discussed naturally reinforce the language acquisition. Shop class is not a lecture environment, if done right.
There are some useful things in there about rephrasing students responses though.
